IF YOU BURP WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF DRINKING BAKING SODA WATER, HERE’S WHAT IT MEANS

As holistic medicine and use of natural remedies have both been on a rise in recent years, application of baking soda in medicinal purposes has been keeping up with the trend. Due to its availability, and the fact that every one of use has a box of baking soda in their home, the popularity, and constant discoveries of new uses are no wonder.

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3), or baking soda, is a natural substance found in the human body. Our organism uses it to regulate pH levels and counteract acid buildup. This process is critical for maintaining our health, as acidity is one of our greatest enemies. Sodium Bicarbonate is a powerful medical item, and it can be used for following applications:

Relieving heartburn

Baking soda is a cheap and highly effective way of reducing, and potentially eliminating heartburn and indigestion. It is an alternative to commonly used Tums and Rolaids, both of which contain sodium bicarbonate. Use it by drinking a teaspoon of baking soda added to two cups of water.

Perform a test at home to check if your HCL is low. Add 1/4 tsp. of baking soda in an 8 oz. glass of cold water. Drink the baking soda and water mixture first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything. Time how long it takes to burp after drinking the mixture. You should burp within 2 to 3 minutes if your HCL is adequate.

Reducing gout discomfort

Gout is an inflammation located in joints, caused by the buildup of uric acid in our organism. Having a baking soda and water mixture helps relieve gout-caused pain, and prevents further acid accumulation in the body.

Neutralizing stomach acid

Alkaline properties of baking soda are what helps neutralize the stomach acid. Having a ½ teaspoon of baking soda with a cup of water will neutralize stomach acid, and restore your pH balance.

Treating UTIs

The same alkaline properties that neutralize stomach acid also decrease acidity of urine. Increased urine acidity is one of the main causes of pain and discomfort during urination. In order to quickly and efficiently treat urinary tract infections, mix one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of filtered water, and drink once a day, on an empty stomach.

Preventing and treating kidney disease

Sodium bicarbonate’s alkalinity comes to the rescue once again, this time by sorting out any hypertension or sugar-level issues that your body might have. Both of these are considered causes for kidney function insufficiency. Consuming baking soda (one teaspoon to a glass of unfiltered water) can prevent conditions such as metabolic acidosis, and prevent you from going through a world of pain and trouble.

Reducing symptoms of flue and cold

As we’ve mentioned in the last few paragraphs, baking soda’s property of being extremely alkaline reduces acidosis systemically. Published in 1924, Dr. Volney S. Chaneys’ “Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Medical Uses” recounts his success in clinical use of sodium bicarbonate in treatment of common colds and flue.

Fighting cancer

Dozens of studies published on this topic all agree that sodium bicarbonate, in addition to strict dietary measures, helps reduce tumor size with no negative effects on the healthy tissue.
